Author bio

Liz Braswell was born in Birmingham, England, and grew up in New England. She studied Egyptology at Brown University and, yes, can write your name in hieroglyphs. That sounds like a funny side note until you notice how often her books care about old stories, hidden meanings, and the rules tucked underneath fantasy worlds.

Before she became a full-time novelist, Braswell spent about ten years producing video games, mostly in New York. It is not hard to see the carryover. Her fiction tends to move quickly, build clear story logic, and then poke at that logic until the whole plot tilts in an interesting direction. She likes systems, and she likes watching characters break them.

Then she left games for books.

Her first novel was Snow, a Snow White retelling published under the name Tracy Lynn. Soon after came The Nine Lives of Chloe King, a YA fantasy trilogy about a teenage girl who discovers catlike powers and learns that somebody is hunting her. The trilogy later became a television series in 2011, which gave Braswell a wider audience without changing the basic appeal of the books.

A lot of readers now meet her through Disney's Twisted Tales. In A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old As Time, Part of Your World, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, What Once Was Mine, and Adventure Is Out There!, she starts with one clean what-if and follows the consequences all the way out. Jafar gets the lamp. Aurora never properly wakes up. Ursula wins. Wendy reaches Never Land with Captain Hook. Ellie, not Carl, heads toward Paradise Falls. The pleasure of these books is not just recognition. It is seeing familiar characters forced to make harder choices in worlds that suddenly feel less safe and much less settled.

She likes pressure.

That shows up in the rest of her work too. Stuffed and Into Darkness turn a very kid-sized hope, that stuffed animals are alive when no one is looking, into spooky, funny middle grade adventures about loyalty and protection. Rx goes in a very different direction and follows an honors student who is also dealing prescription drugs to classmates. Even when the shelf changes, Braswell keeps returning to identity, family strain, second chances, hidden histories, and young people trying to understand what kind of power they actually have.

She has also written under names including Tracy Lynn and Celia Thomson, so her bibliography has a few side doors. Read across those names and the pattern gets pretty clear. She likes heroines under stress, secret worlds tucked beside ordinary life, and stories that ask who gets to define what is normal in the first place.

These days Braswell lives in Brooklyn with her husband, their children, and a very plant-filled apartment that has included coffee trees. She has also reviewed science fiction, fantasy, and horror for The Wall Street Journal. It feels like the same curiosity at work in a different form, the kid who loved fairy tales, the student of ancient Egypt, the game producer, and the novelist are all still in the room.
